Hi all,
I cann not find info, how to use tooltips in CF with PocketPC.
Can You help?
Must I make my class or CF have standart control?
 
What exactly do you mean by a tooltip, and on what type of control. Keep in
mind that on the desktop ToolTips are shown when you hover with a mouse.
That can't really be done in a touchscreen environment, so if we have an
idea of what you're trying to do we might be able to provide guidance.

One could simulate a tooltip effect by making use of two clicks
click 1 - brings up the tooltip
click 2 - selects the item (equivalent to a single click on a normal
control)

I'm not quite sure where this would be useful, but it is an option. Oh, I
just remembered where I have seen it: Jawbreaker, of course. There the
single click determines the point awarded for the group selected, another
click causes that group to disappear - quite effective, but does add an
additional click that might get quite annoying.

Hi Chris,
so I want if a user tap and hold the stylus at my custom control, to show a
hint (tooltip), as tollbar button.
In dotnet it have a window class tooltip, that is not accessible in CF.
I think that I must make a own control to show a tooltip in CF?
excuse me for my poor english.
